Unveiler Badge:

 

Fake Nemesis - Best place to quickly get these is in Shard, Cascade Archipelago, specifically Tyrant's rock area.

 

I was able to get around 40 of them in 60-90 min of farming by myself

 

That is a great area.  🙂 

 

The easiest for most is to do the last arc in the "Pandora's Box" Signature Story Arc and farm the 1st mish (contact is the Yaeger in Steel Canyon).  Whether teamed or solo, make sure you at x8 and you'll get 30-34 fakes in there.  3 runs of that first mish and you'll have the badge in about 30 mins of time.  If you run it solo, set yourself to -1x8, no bosses, and the fakes will spawn as LTs and are easier to kill.  Run around, just kill the fakes and move on.

 

It can be tricky for some to survive, but it's doable on all ATs, some just may do it faster than others.  Less sturdy characters, may find that area in the Cascades you mention easier,  despite taking longer.

Man in Black / Woman in Black – Defeat 200 Shivans

 

Bloody Bay has them in large numbers, but as a PVP zone, you are scaled to their level. Not great, but workable. You can also work on Banished Pantheon Spirit Masks there, but they aren’t super abundant. The Pilgrim has a mission with some, but likely not enough even at max difficulty.

 

Wanted to comment on this one. I'm working on it right now, and the mission from The Pilgrim ("Defeat source of Shivan attacks") is filled with nothing but Shivans. It's an excellent source for this badge. You are auto-exemp'd down to 15 so be aware of that. As a controller with no pets, I'm running it on 0x5 and hit 140 Shivans in one run of the mission.

Yep. Last time I went for that badge, did Pilgrim, then finished up with Bloody Bay

 

Now that the Labyrinth is released, quite a few of the huntable mobs are in there.

 

And Ashling's arc is good for Paragon Protectors and other Crey targets

Call of the Void - Defeat 100 Void Hunters

Was confused on this one as I never team up with any PBs or Warshades and how to get these to pop up. I just stumbled upon, as Vigilante alignment, a tip mission titled "Defeat the Council Agent". The mission is full of nothing but Void Hunters! Woot! Wanted to share and pass it along. FYI, I picked the Villain option for the mission, not sure if that is needed.

Cloud of Odorous Smoke is the tip mission you meant. Then select the Vigilante tip option instead of the Hero tip option.

Where to get Igneous Bosses?

The only arc I ever found them was one in Hollows

One method is to gather a team of at least three and hunt in the hollows to get bosses to spawn

One mission with them is in the Who Will Die Arc, first one from Theodon

In addition to what @lemming stated, the Cavern of Transcendence Trial also has them - get a full team or set yourself to x8 to get lots of them.

Another great place for Toxic Tarantulas and Mu Guardians is Recluse's Victory near the red entrance

So, this took me by surprise. 

Belladonna Vetrano, one of those "incarnate story arc" contacts has a personal mission. Was doing it to get "Embodiment of Law" badge. 

For those that don't know, in this mission, you take on the form of Tyrant, or Marcus Cole. And you completely annihilate all the forces of Lord Recluse, much like any level 50 fire blaster would annihilate a mob of level 8 Skulls in Perez Park. Easy. And then, suddenly, I get a gladiator badge from defeating Fortunatas. I can't recall how many I needed. It wasn't many...but there were at least a couple of Toxic Tarantulas in here, as well as a number of Mu Guardian bosses. 

Historically, I would do 2 things for Mu Guardian bosses - camp out near the villain base, as there's always a couple near there. Or, I'd tackle the first mission of MLTF, and just target the toxics, the forts, and the Mu Bosses. Now - that still might be more efficient from a numbers perspective, but this map is super simple. Click a glowie, do a little sprint, then lay the smack down. 
I already had the Heat Seeker badge, so unsure if I'd have gotten credit for the Flyer, but odds would be against that anyway. Someone would have milked that for all it was worth if that was the case, and it would have been fixed, for sure. 

Just thought I'd share a very simple way to get forts and Mu bosses and Toxic Tarantulas, particularly if you're a squish, or you just like the feeling of laying waste to grey conning mobs.

That one is a definite no.   You also don't get credit for defeating all the AVs, but the grunts in the attack wave all count toward their respective badges.

Anyone know of a good place to consistently get crey gamma tanks in good amounts for the Totally Radical badge?

They tend to be mixed in with all the other crey.   Dr Aeon and any of the tip missions with crey have a decent number.
